I have both the 212 and 220 gr. but have not shot them yet. I loaded a dummy round with .001" neck tension for the 212's to determine where the ogive hits the jams and didn't like how far the bullet was seated in the case. I did the same with the Berger 215 HT and with the hybrid ogive it gave me much better seating placement and I was able to hit the velocities I wanted. With an 8 twist 26" lite bull barrel H1000 produced a .143 3 shot grp @ avg vel 2809. VV570 was very consistent across the 6 charge weights I used for OCW testing shooting 5 out of 6 sub MOA with the best @ .733 avg vel 2,905 SD 6.17. The super accurate node with the H1000 is small and the SD is 11.1 so I'm thinking it makes sense to further optimize the VV570. I like the SD and velocity better and should be able to get it under .5 MOA. The only downside is VV570 is known to be a barrel burner but not going to worry about replacing the barrel at some point.

Stadoc - is that the 190 impact? I've been thinking about giving them a try

Like me it sounds like you might be shooting a Browning X-bolt one of the few factory 300WM that offer an 8 twist barrel. Are you shooting SAAMI max COAL for that load. I have some 212's and am curious especially if you are shooting a Browning. In my rifle this bullet finds the jams @ 3.524" COAL. Didn't realize I had responded to an old thread... some threads never die I guess.

I'm getting pretty close now. It looks like 79 Gr of H1000 and 74 gr of RL-26 are both accurate and give me 2960+ fps.
It was really windy at the range on Friday so I just decided to shoot a few rounds and try to get close to zeroing.
The H1000 seems to be a bit more accurate but it was really hard to tell. I need a more solid rear rest as the Caldwell bag doesn't cut it at all.
At 200 yards 78.75 and 79 gr of H1000 are both very accurate just slightly different impact on the target.
Been using the (H-1000) @ 79.5 gr with 180 gr SPBT years and killed more than my share of Elk! From Aprox 150 yds out to again, Aprox 800+/- yds. All have Dropped where they were shot! Within a short step or so!
Same load out of Two very different Rifles. Over Many years!
Yes Speer impact 190, very accurate and I honestly didn't do much tinkering with bullet seating and such. Pretty much just followed the book specs and it's super accurate

That's impressive velocity I assume you're close to sea level what barrel length? How does your velocity compare to the book velocity? I have an 8 twist 26"
Have to look at the book again will look at it when I get home
